Low BIK what car
Discussion
I m in a bit of a quandary.
I ve agreed an allowance with my company for a company car of c£1,200 per month. 15k miles per annum and I want to avoid a massive tax impact via BIK.
I had my heart set on a LR defender commercial D350 as I have a dog and I m a keen cyclist with no need for rear seats. Clearly the LR is a bit off the page currently as an order backlog is highly likely.
Despite not needing rear seats my second choice was a macan 4S electric. Again massive queue.
So I m after ideas. 2 or 3 long journeys a week, need to hold a dog crate, would like to transport a bike, could use a rack, currently driving a Merc c43.
Anyone any ideas, £1,200 is on a business lease so is ex vat.
Edited to add i would like a bit of poke, hence the macan 4S not the 4.
Thank you.

Might be a bit low rent but how about a ID BUZZ GTX? I think you can take the back seats out when you don t need them?
BMW I5 tourer?
A6 etron?
Q6 etron? These seem to have a less sloped roof than the new macan so more room
Mercedes Benz EQS SUV?
Lotus Eletre SUV?
Volvo EX90
BMW ix
KIA EV9 or the hyandi big SUV
Wait for the new cayenne?

Top Gear’s long term buzz (which might be a different, newer spec) struggled to do 200 motorway miles on a full charge, 80 odd kWH battery I think it was. It seems unacceptable that it can’t do 200 miles in summer!BMW I5 tourer?

As a side note, especially if you have your heart set on something, it could be worth ringing round a few main dealers to see what stock they have.
The company I work for use Zenith, who quoted and placed an order for my i4. The delivery date was circa 6 months away.
Once they’d placed the order I got talking with the main dealer and found out they had access to plenty of i4s that were sat in a port, just in a different colour. It’s now due for delivery next week.
Worth noting I couldn’t see this specific car “in stock” when looking on either the BMW website or the dealers website.

That’s a fair point. I’m not in a massive rush but would like to sort something out.The company I work for use Zenith, who quoted and placed an order for my i4. The delivery date was circa 6 months away.

"only" 3.0 TD though it's in stock.
Sadly the 116kWh G-Wagen isn't in budget.

Only downsides of the newer 50e generation are more stupider touch screens for heating etc, plus they’re all a ridiculous 2.5 tonnes iirc.
